Batch or Online Processing?

I find it very hard to accept that in certain corporate web applications. The application performance testing are subjected to 3 to 5 seconds of resposne time.
And in order to meet this kind of standards. Certain process that will take longer time is actually been shifted to batch process or system prompted batch jobs.
I feel that this has an impact on usability, as user will have to keep track whether this batch process has been run complete or not. I think from my point of view, it is ok to exceed the response time for certain process that might take longer time as long as we have a progress/loading indicator.
